Cowboys LB Sean Lee misses second consecutive practice with illness

IRVING –LB Sean Lee, the team’s leading tackler, missed his second consecutive practice because of an illness.

The Cowboys remain confident he’ll play Sunday against the Giants. The Cowboys struggled with communication issues in their first game against the Giants three weeks ago, especially in hurry-up situations, and Lee is a vital part of the defense’s communication because he receives the play calls and relays them to other players.

The Cowboys have sent Lee home the last two days. On Thursday, Lee only came in for a checkup.
